Infrastructure in Your Area (self.bicycling)

I live in a rural area, so there isn't really anything close to cycling infrastructure... but there are enough people on bikes around that most motorized vehicles slow down, move over, and even indicate!

I guess this would depend a lot on what local councils and governments prioritize.

What's the state of cycling in your area?

Yeah. I can't remember when, but someone pointed out to me how every time someone in the U.S. runs down a bicyclist with their Canyonero, every single news outlet describes it as a "bicycle accident."

That's something I can't un-see.
